I have an '86 regal and can't find any pictures of cars with 17x8 or 17x9. I haven't decided which rim would look better on my car, but i think i want 17''s. Does anyone have any 17'' coys on their car? Post some pictures please!! also post your opinion on which wheels would look good. or if you have any other recomendations for wheels in the same price range ($650 shipped) let me know. also I am leaning towards gun metal. Post your opinion on that also, i'd do polished or gun metal. not a big fan of all black.

Honestly, I think the wheels you have on the car look great. Mean and maybe kinda sleeper. But if you want 18's or better with custom offsets i would look at wheels built buy Jason Rushforth. Here are a few pics of some of his wheels. I would buy Rated X with black out centers and polished hoops if it were my car. Coy's has some nice affordable wheels too. I've bought some Coy's C-57's for my 67 Chevelle and was very happy. I will also show some Pic's of those as well. Good Luck:fingersx:

I've got Coys C-57 polished on my Elco (see sig). Nice wheel for the price, but made in China:bsjerk:
Did you know that Coys just released the C-5 wheel with black spokes? They would look killer on that Buick:seizure:

heres my options. I have a '95 caprice 9c1 rear axle I want to put in my car. It has posi traction and the gears i want along with disc brakes. It is 4 inches wider than my buick axle and is 8.5'' vs. stock 7.5'' so my options are:
1. shorten rear axle ($900) to buick width and use current wheels
2. keep axle width the same & buy new rims/tires for around $900-$1200. I'd have to use 5x5 bolt pattern for the rear along with different offset, and i'd keep stock 5x4.75 with whatever backspacing .
I was leaning towards new wheels and thinking of selling these to help cover costs even more... what would you guys do? :)
